13. It was a lot better than the last one

The first half of Hell Is Empty was okay, the last half was dreadful, imo...but stuck with Johnson hoping he'd wake up, and he did.

This new one is just a notch not as good as the first 6, but it wasn't bad....in the middle, things lagged a bit but picked up.

Am not a fan of books wrapped around planning a wedding. Hope Cady moves to Philadelphia so her dad could get back to leading his own life which is a sight more interesting when he's not a doting father (or grandfather?)...

And Johnson better not kill off any more of my favorites. Still sore about that.
